Basketball Teams Prepare For Nov.19
Coach Phog Allen's Jayhawker basketball team continues to emphasize conditioning and fundamentals as it prepares for the varsity freshman game, Nov. 19, the kickoff for the homecoming celebration.
Along with conditioning exercises, Coach Allen has been sending players through dummy scrummage. The teams start from the usual jump ball and then the teams freeze the ball from each other. A two minute time limit is given each team and the team that can control the ball the most wins.
Besides nine returning lettermen from last year, three newcomers have shown standout ability. Eddie Dater, former Garden City juice star, is the only player Coach Allen now lists as being capable of handling varsity duty, but he said that Bob Lockley and Gary Mowry are showing vast improvement.
No Outstanding Height
"The boys have a long way to go," Allen said. "We have no outstanding height on the team so must perfect our play patterns to make up for it."
"We are doing this so that each of us can work up something special for the game." Allen said.

After next Tuesday Coach Allen will take sole responsibility for the varsity while Assistant Coach Dick Harp handles the freshmen.
Harp said the fresh candidates show signs of outstanding ability "If they don't shoot poorly, the game should prove to be interesting," he said.
Wilt Great Prospect
Harp called Wilt (The Stilt)
Charlum, feef from front center,
a "gain prospect." "If he develops as expected, Wilt could be one of the finest centers in the University's history."

Nine other freshmen have shown good ability. They are forwards Jerry Johnson, 6 feet, 1 inch; Ronnie Loneski, 6 feet, 5 inches; Stanton O'Neil, 6 feet, $ _{3/2} $ inches; and Gary Thompson, 6 feet, 3 inches; guards, Don Ross, 5 feet, 10 inches; Bill Bobins, 5 feet, 11 inches;
The action by the Board of Regents followed disclosure recently by Novail Neve, whom Kirkpatrick succeeded, that Neve had gambled at cards with athletes at the dorsitory vitrehe he had been living. He returned all the money he won, at the time the gambling occurred.
WICHITA - (U.P.)— Robert P.
"Bob" Kirkpatrick, 36, assistant
athletic director at the University
of Wichita, has been promoted to
director.
Wichita Names New Director
He said the administrative change in athletics was "being made in the best interests of that department and of the university."
Corbin credited Neve with having "adhered strictly to the academic standards established at the university by the faculty and to the regulations of the NCAA."
The Board of Regents named Kirkpatrick as director at the request of University President Harry F. Corbin. Neve already had joined the school's-finance department.
Kirkpatrick, a native of Wichita, was graduated from Wichita University in 1941.
Larry Kelley, 5 feet, 11 inches; Lynn Kindred, 6 feet, 2 inches, and Dick Keith, 6 foot, 7 inch center.
"We'll give the varsity a good fight, but fans must remember that our kids are green and even the 1948 freshman team, which later became so great, lost to the varsity team." Coach Hard said.
The 1948 team is the one that later went to the Olympics and helped the United States win the world championship.

The KU football team, just now emerging from a state of shock administered by a rampaging Kansas State eleven last Saturday, went through workouts yesterday in preparation for their inter-sectional tilt with Oklahoma A&M here Saturday.
Injured Players Back In Action
Ends Lynn McCarthy and Jim Letcvits are back ready for action and this should bolster the end position, around which K-State made huge gains Saturday.
For the first time in four weeks Coach Chuck Mather was able to field his entire original starting eleven with the exception of one man. Center Frank Black is lost for the remainder of the season.
The fullback position shows promise of returning to full strength this Saturday with both Dick Reich and Jerry Baker working out and Al Stevenson and Joe Held ready to go.
